General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | UmuD is implicated in a primitive DNA damage checkpoint and prevents DNA polymerase IV-dependent -1 frameshift mutagenesis, while the cleaved form UmuD' facilitates UmuC-dependent mutagenesis via formation of DNA polymerase V (UmuD'2C). Thus, the cleavage of UmuD is a crucial switch that regulates replication and mutagenesis via numerous protein-protein interactions. | Escherichia coli |
